Sarrai - Alistratis Cave
|
|
The cave in Petroto is four km from the village of Alistrati and 50km from Serres. Sections of the cave so far explored cover an area of 25,000 sq. m while its main and secondary corridors are about 3,000 m long. There is, however, more to be explored. The size of the cave is surprising and its huge vaults are overwhelming. Its main vault is 100 m long, 65m wide and 35 m high. Its impressive decoration includes every kind of stalactite and stalagmite while it contains the largest disk in any cave in Europe, four m high.
A 120 m long tunnel has been opened and there are plans to install a miniature train to carry visitors through the cave.
